To Jim's family,
It was such an honor to get to know Jim. I was the chaplain at Country Meadows while Jim was there. He was always a joy to be with and a man of great faith.
God be with you.

To the family of James Sulfare:
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Your Father is your Special Guardian Angel watching over you. Jim was a very special person and friend since I first met him in 1959. I have been thinking of Jim and trying over the past year to locate him because I knew he was ill with no luck. I was surprised to have read his passing in today's paper. May God watch and Bless you through this touching time in your life.
